MTV VMA Fashion: Short Hair Don’t Care
I was digging the short hairdos at MTV’s Video Music Awards last night. Of course, Pink has been a devotee of short hair for years. But she had more company than usual at the VMAs. Miley Cyrus went short last month, and her hair looked great glammed up for the event. I’ve adored many of…
This Is as Naked as I’ve Ever Been on This Blog
The blogosphere is amazing. In yesterday’s post, I joked that my next career should be “paper doll.” That career is now underway thanks to the gorgeous and artistic Megan Mae of Megan Mae Daily. Here is the WendyB doll that Megan drew for me. As you can see, Megan nailed my cross-legged pose. The doll…
What Wendy Wore: Revolving Door of Clothes
I’m happy to wear the same pair of jeans for weeks on end, but today I changed outfits like a D-list celebrity attending New York Fashion Week for the first time. I started out in the red peplum dress made for me earlier this year by designer/blogger Stacy Lomman. I like to wear that one…
To Every Thing There Is a Season but Kelly Clarkson Is Timeless
Summer doesn’t really end for a few more weeks, but Labor Day weekend marks the unofficial end of the season in the U.S. It’s time for kids to go back to school and, I figured, a good time for me to look through the summer’s draft blog posts to delete anything that’s grown stale. That’s…
Hair Photos Via Instagram
This is how my hair looks naturally … … and this is how I usually wear it. I think straight hair better highlights the interesting details of my haircuts. On the topic of hair, yesterday’s New York Times style section ran an article called “Getting Bolder With Age” about women in their 40s, 50s and…
What Wendy Wore: Still Dotty After All These Years
I wore “homegrown” vintage when I went out with gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman on Monday. I got this polka-dot silk top at the Tahari store in New York’s World Financial Center between 1992 and 1995. There was an Ann Taylor store near the Tahari store. I used to go into those two stores every couple…
Great Minds Think Alike: “Snow Globe” Clutches
When I admired a gel-filled PVC clutch by Christopher Kane in May, I didn’t imagine I’d see the look again … … but today, I spotted Kotur’s gel-filled, acrylic “Pink Snow Globe Clutch” on New York Magazine’s website. I’ve got to keep my eye out for more of these. They remind me of lava lamps,…
OMG! I’m Such a Trendsetter!
Because I’m a gracious bitch, I want to congratulate my friends at Topshop and DCK Concessions for getting props for their clever three-ring OMG set. I think that is such a cute jewelry concept! In fact, I’ve thought so since 2010, when I introduced my own OMG rings. My sterling-silver, limited-edition rings cost $300 for…
